We can also set it to search specific sites (or site) or to search the entire internet. We can also choose to search for images by checking the “Image search” toggle button. If we want, we can choose to have the SafeSearch option on.
After filling in the required inputs, we check the “I’m not a robot” captcha and then click on “Create” to get our programmable search engine.
